Signs futures deal with New England
The Patriots signed Ricci (knee) to a reserve/future contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Ricci spent time with the Browns last offseason, but he was waived due to a knee injury back in August and never got another chance on an NFL squad during the 2024 campaign. Now that he's healthy, the journeyman tight end will get an opportunity to compete for a reserve role in New England's tight end corps.

The Browns have a stout defense anchored by pass rusher Myles Garrett, but QB Deshaun Watson has barely played in two years with the team, and Nick Chubb continues to recover from a devastating knee injury.

The Bryce Young-era in Carolina got off to a rocky start, to say the least. With better skill talent around him this season, he seems better positioned to fulfill his status as the No. 1 draft pick from 2023.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Ricci was snapped up by the Browns after Carolina opted not to tender the restricted free agent. He's considered a block-first tight end and has experience lining up as a fullback. There's little chance he makes an impact as a receiver and will at best be the third on the TE depth chart behind David Njoku and Jordan Akins. The Browns also brought back Zaire Mitchell-Paden, who has yet to play in the NFL after signing as an undrafted free agent in 2022.
